Let’s Pretend It’s Summer in Seattle

Seattleites make the best of our weather and don’t always wait for the sun to shine to get outside and enjoy summer. According to local wisdom, summer starts July 5. We still plan Fourth of July gatherings, even when it’s 60 degrees out.

I prepared this Watermelon Salad for two different parties on this year’s Fourth of July weekend. It’s very refreshing, perfect for a hot (or not so hot) day, and it goes well with barbecued chicken or ribs.
